Chapter 454: The Older Generation Are All Enigmatic People!
"Who is that?"
"My uncle, who just emerged from the ground two years ago."
Zhou Yanbing looked at a distant white-haired man and carefully said,
The white-haired man frowned, as if realizing something.
"Back already?"
Zhou Yanbing immediately stood up straight, "Uncle!"
Black Blade and Zhou Li walked by the side, during which Black Blade’s gaze unconsciously fell on the man.
Blacks·Halo.
He is said to be Blacks Rex’s illegitimate child, who later died in the Battle of Blood Wilderness, known to few.
In the grand palace, Halo sat on a red velvet sofa, holding a cup of blood-red liquid and gently swaying it.
"Younger brother, you should watch over this young lad properly, always bringing strangers home, what a thing to do?"
Zhou Li stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an invisible sense of authority.
He looked at Halo for a moment, then said coldly, "Don’t forget our relationship."
Halo put down the cup, then placed his hand on his chest and bowed as a gesture of respect.
"Halo, greetings to His Majesty."
"Brother, have you pleased His Majesty with such courtesy?"
Zhou Li and Halo passed by each other, and Halo suddenly stopped Black Blade with a wave of his hand, "I presume this is the famous Black Blade Assassin?"
"I am Blacks Halo, may I have the honor of sparring with the esteemed Black Blade?"
Black Blade looked at Zhou Li, then Zhou Li’s gaze narrowed, Black Blade directly grabbed Halo’s wrist!
"My sword only leaves the sheath when killing."
Halo grinned, "Why don’t you try holding the intention to kill me?"
*Swoosh!*
As the words fell, a Black Blade pierced directly through Harold’s chest!
One word, swift!
Even Zhou Li couldn’t catch when Black Blade made its move!
By the time he realized, Black Blade’s weapon had already pierced Harold’s chest.
"*Swoosh!*"
Halo spurted out a mouthful of blood in an instant, feeling his heart surging at that moment, his throat tasting sweet, "Is this… the Black Blade?"
Pfft!
Black Blade pulled out his weapon, Halo instantly knelt to the ground, "Cough cough… pfft!"
Seeing Halo spitting blood, Zhou Yanbing’s pupils contracted, rushing forward to support him, "Uncle!!"
Halo wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, but the blood from his chest just kept flowing without stopping.
"Alright, stop pretending."
As Zhou Li finished speaking, Halo’s body instantly turned into a pool of blood scattered on the ground.
The next moment, Halo suddenly appeared right behind Zhou Li, saying, "Alright, I acknowledge his strength."
Black Blade looked at the two, then at Zhou Yanbing, "Your father’s ability to lie is not as good as yours."
Zhou Yanbing paused for a moment, then awkwardly scratched his head, "Um… well, like father, like son…"
Zhou Li sat down, and Black Blade sat down beside him, "Halo wants to test you a bit, so we staged this scene, please don’t mind."
Black Blade slammed his weapon on the table, "For Eternal City?"
Zhou Li nodded, "Exactly. Two years ago, I found the entrance to Eternal City, but it was sealed by an ancient magical curse."
"We have been trying for a long time, but couldn’t find a way to break it, but…"
Black Blade said, "Even the tightest formation has its weaknesses, and you have already found them."
Zhou Li laughed, "It’s true that with age comes wisdom, but sometimes foolishness too."
"We did discover the weak point of the boundary of Eternal City, but…"
Black Blade said, "Even if it’s the weakest point, breaking through it is as difficult as reaching the sky."
Halo looked at Zhou Li, "Does he always like to interrupt like this?"
Zhou Li pondered for a moment, "He didn’t used to be like this before, maybe he learned a trick to read minds?"
Black Blade turned his palm into a fist, gently tapping the tabletop, "You mentioned drinking with me, where’s the wine?"
Zhou Li chuckled twice, "That’s just for show. The walls have ears, and now spies from other factions have infiltrated the empire."
"If I told you directly about the matters of the Eternal City, I reckon in a few days, the entire Green Veil’s influence will be aware."
A hint of green light flashed in Black Blade’s eyes, "So, is it safe enough here?"
Halo’s hand lightly touched the table, and suddenly a blood-red magic circle appeared, "This is an array eye, the entire Blood King’s Palace has been isolated by the magic circle."
"The maids and guards have all been sent away, now inside the entire palace, besides us, there is no one else."
Black Blade looked at Zhou Li, "How much of what you said outside the city before was true?"
Zhou Li reached out and touched the core of the magic circle, then waved his hand and pulled out a bottle of red wine with a gold-edged crystal.
"Drinking wine is a cover, wanting to protect family is real."
"Of course, now we are really playing the game."
"Yo, take Tanasah for a stroll inside the castle, but remember, don’t leave the castle gates."
Tanasah blinked, "How do you know my name?"
Zhou Li smiled, "I saw you when you were little, you may not remember."
Tanasah looked at the Black Blade, "Is that so?"
"Yes," Black Blade answered.
Tanasah pouted and said angrily, "Why don’t you tell me anything…"
Black Blade pointed at Zhou Li and said, "It was his idea."
Zhou Li cleared his throat twice, "Ahem, this is also for your own good. There are things I haven’t even told my son."
Zhou Yanbing was also stunned, "So I am also part of your plan?"
Halo looked at Zhou Yanbing, "Nephew, we’ll chat about these things later. Right now, there are some things that you are not ready for."
Zhou Yanbing glanced at the three people, then left with Tanasah.
He was still too young.
It’s really hard to imagine that the older generation is constantly planning something.
。。。
As Zhou Yanbing left, the three people of Black Blade also looked serious.
"How many people know about what happened in Eternal City this time?"
Zhou Li rested his chin on his hands on the table. "You, me, Halo, Tiya, and my father Rex. Apart from us, no one else knows."
Halo opened a bottle of wine on the side and poured liquid into three tall glasses.
"This plan can’t rely just on us. Zhou Li thought of you first. He said you don’t talk much and are trustworthy."
"I didn’t trust you, so I decided to test you. Now it seems I was worried for nothing. The Black Blade Assassin is indeed thoughtful, decisive, and courageous."
Black Blade looked at Halo. "Did you lure Zhou Yanbing here?"
Zhou Li took a glass. "If we had come to find you, it would have attracted attention from other factions."
"But Zhou is still young and inexperienced. If we reveal everything to him, it could lead to trouble."
"So we had to be subtle, let him overhear our conversation about the Eternal Empire, mention you, and your whereabouts."
Halo said, "Taking advantage of the princess’s coming-of-age ceremony held by the King of Desire, use this as an excuse to make him go."
"This way, everything will fall into place."
"To deceive others, we must blind the eyes and ears of various powers."
